Project No.: 0116PGS

Level: Primary 3-4

Objectives: This project aims to help students: 1. recognize the principles of healthy living and the factors contributing to successful weight control; 2. recognize the reasons for and the disadvantages of being overweight; 3. cultivate healthy living habits and reflect on the implementation of the personal healthy living plan; 4. develop the attitude of respecting others; 5. enhance their knowledge and generic skills.

Project Decription: In this project, information technology integrated the teaching content, which comprises two modules: 1. The module for P.3 is "Fit-Fit Min-Min" which consists of four units. 2. The module for P.4 is "Overweight and Keeping Fit Online" which consists of five units. Each unit lasted for two weeks and included learning activities such as group discussion, online discussion, the establishment and implmentation of personal healthy living plans, physical exercise demonstration, online reading and information collection for project learning.

Experiences shared during the process of the curriculum development: Students constructed and internalized knowledge acquired from their learning experiences, which was then applied in their daily life. Assessment, therefore, covered the aspects of knowledge, attitudes and skills. Process-oriented assessment allowed teachers to observe students' learning in the learning and teaching process, offering assistance and facilitation to students accordingly. The qualitative mode of assessment was preferable as it helped teachers analyze the types of experiences students underwent and obtain an in-depth understanding of students' internalization and application of what they had learnt.

Teaching Materials: Teacher's Manual, worksheets and electronic presentations
